Amaryllis Sonatini Marrakech (Outdoor)

This outdoor Amaryllis or Hippestrum is a bright and cheerful variety that will produce three to four funnel-shaped flowers per bulb. The beautiful pale-yellow petals surround a bright yellow throat. This hardy Amaryllis is ideal for planting in the border where it will grow to a height of 40-50cm. Alternatively, Marrakech will also make an excellent subject in patio pots and containers. An excellent addition to your cut flower displays. Although they are hardy by nature, we recommend applying a winter mulch to protect against frosts. Flowers March onwards for a period of 10-12 weeks. Supplied as 14/16cm bulbs.

Plant each bulb in freshly prepared soil with the the roots down and at least 30cm apart. If possible we recommend planting in a location that will have access to as much sun and light as possible because these bulbs really thrive in full sun. It is also advisable to add some organic mulch to the roots on planting to help enrich the soil. Water well after planting.

Unlike common Hippeastrum bulbs, this outdoor flowering variety can be grown in patio containers, flowers best in a warm sheltered spot. By late autumn the foliage and leaves begin to turn yellow and can be removed. The bulbs rest after this period so avoid watering once foliage is all removed until the following year.
